MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION PROJECT: TIJUANA ESTUARY SEDIMENT FATE AND TRANSPORT STUDY LEAD AGENCY: California Department of Parks and Recreation AVAILABILITY OF DOCUMENTS: The Initial Study for this Mitigated Negative Declaration is available for review in hard copy at the following locations: • San Diego Coast District Headquarters California Department of Parks & Recreation 4477 Pacific Coast Highway San Diego, California 92110 • Tijuana Estuary Visitor Center 301 Caspian Way Imperial Beach, CA 91932 • City of San Diego Central Library 820 Imperial Beach Blvd. Imperial Beach, California 91932 The Initial Study for this Mitigated Negative Declaration is also available electronically at: http://www.tijuanaestuary.com/visitors_center.asp. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of the implementation of a Sediment Fate and Transport Study within Border Field State Park at the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve. The project would utilize sorted sediment from the Goat Canyon sediment basin and deposit it in designated areas along the beach south of the Tijuana River mouth. While the study would be conducted near important wetland habitat areas, no work would occur within these areas. The project would include: • Transportation and deposition of 60,000 cubic yards of sediment from the Goat Canyon sediment basin facility; • Use of sediment previously sorted at an existing staging area; • Transportation from the Goat Canyon sediment basins to the beach south of the Tijuana River mouth via haul truck; • Commencement in the fall/winter of 2008/2009, so the placement of material in the nearshore would coincide with periods of fall/winter low tides; • Sediment placement in three phases; Phases 1 and 2 would each involve transport and deposition of approximately 10,000 cubic yards of sediment over a maximum duration of 10 days; Phase 3 would involve transport and deposition of approximately 40,000 cubic yards of sediment over a maximum duration of 60 days; • Extensive physical monitoring of the placed materials in the oceanic environment conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey to determine potential impacts on marine habitats as a result of sediment movement; and Tijuana Estuary Sediment Fate and Transport Study DRAFT IS/MND Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve California Department of Parks & Recreation • Biological monitoring of the surrounding environment to determine potential impacts on marine flora and fauna and their habitat as a result of sediment movement. The public hearing for the proposed project is Monday, February 11, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. at the Tijuana Estuary Visitor Center (address on previous page). A copy of the Initial Study is attached.

  • Carrico Department of American Indian Studies, San Diego State University
    CLANS AND SHIMULLS/SIBS OF WESTERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY RICHARD L. CARRICO DEPARTMENT OF AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES, SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY In San Diego County and northern Baja California the social and political make-up of the Kumeyaay (Ipai and Tipai) is fairly well documented for the settlements and villages east of the western foothills of the Cuyamaca Mountains and into the western Imperial Desert. By contrast, the traditional and historical distribution and names of the coastal and inland valley clans is far less documented. This paucity of data for the western clans is largely a function of the removal of these clans from the region by European colonialists and their settlement in the interior of San Diego County by 1875. The goal of this study is to fill in the gaps in our knowledge of the precontact and early proto-historic coastal and inland valley clans through the use of Spanish mission records and early historic documents. As a result of this study 10 coastal and inland valley clans have been identified and their general area of distribution plotted. The combination of earlier studies with the current study provides a much clearer and more complete depiction of the Kumeyaay clans of San Diego County. The Kumeyaay people of San Diego County trace their family lineage back to a distant past and often to animals and creatures from another time. In spite of decades of study, traditional Kumeyaay social organization remains unclear. The basic unit appears to have been kin groups referred to by a variety of names including sib, shimulls, cimuLs, gens, and gentes.

  • 4 Tribal Nations of San Diego County This Chapter Presents an Overall Summary of the Tribal Nations of San Diego County and the Water Resources on Their Reservations
    4 Tribal Nations of San Diego County This chapter presents an overall summary of the Tribal Nations of San Diego County and the water resources on their reservations. A brief description of each Tribe, along with a summary of available information on each Tribe’s water resources, is provided. The water management issues provided by the Tribe’s representatives at the San Diego IRWM outreach meetings are also presented. 4.1 Reservations San Diego County features the largest number of Tribes and Reservations of any county in the United States. There are 18 federally-recognized Tribal Nation Reservations and 17 Tribal Governments, because the Barona and Viejas Bands share joint-trust and administrative responsibility for the Capitan Grande Reservation. All of the Tribes within the San Diego IRWM Region are also recognized as California Native American Tribes. These Reservation lands, which are governed by Tribal Nations, total approximately 127,000 acres or 198 square miles. The locations of the Tribal Reservations are presented in Figure 4-1 and summarized in Table 4-1. Two additional Tribal Governments do not have federally recognized lands: 1) the San Luis Rey Band of Luiseño Indians (though the Band remains active in the San Diego region) and 2) the Mount Laguna Band of Luiseño Indians. Note that there may appear to be inconsistencies related to population sizes of tribes in Table 4-1. This is because not all Tribes may choose to participate in population surveys, or may identify with multiple heritages. 4.2 Cultural Groups Native Americans within the San Diego IRWM Region generally comprise four distinct cultural groups (Kumeyaay/Diegueno, Luiseño, Cahuilla, and Cupeño), which are from two distinct language families (Uto-Aztecan and Yuman-Cochimi).

    DRAFT VEGETATION COMMUNITIES OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY Based on “Preliminary Descriptions of the Terrestrial Natural Communities of California” prepared by Robert F. Holland, Ph.D. for State of California, The Resources Agency, Department of Fish and Game (October 1986) Codes revised by Thomas Oberbauer (February 1996) Revised and expanded by Meghan Kelly (August 2006) Further revised and reorganized by Jeremy Buegge (March 2008) March 2008 Suggested citation: Oberbauer, Thomas, Meghan Kelly, and Jeremy Buegge. March 2008. Draft Vegetation Communities of San Diego County. Based on “Preliminary Descriptions of the Terrestrial Natural Communities of California”, Robert F. Holland, Ph.D., October 1986. March 2008 Draft Vegetation Communities of San Diego County Introduction San Diego’s vegetation communities owe their diversity to the wide range of soil and climatic conditions found in the County. The County encompasses desert, mountainous and coastal conditions over a wide range of elevation, precipitation and temperature changes. These conditions provide niches for endemic species and a wide range of vegetation communities. San Diego County is home to over 200 plant and animal species that are federally listed as rare, endangered, or threatened. The preservation of this diversity of species and habitats is important for the health of ecosystem functions, and their economic and intrinsic values. In order to effectively classify the wide variety of vegetation communities found here, the framework developed by Robert Holland in 1986 has been added to and customized for San Diego County. To supplement the original Holland Code, additions were made by Thomas Oberbauer in 1996 to account for unique habitats found in San Diego and to account for artificial habitat features (i.e., 10,000 series).
